Abstract: Today, pollution of the atmosphere presents serious dangers to human wellness and the environment in many major regions. The paper study the successes and failures of various pollution control methods by finding the root causes of air pollution in three major regions, Europe, Delhi in India, and California in USA, and the methods they implemented to reduce it. Targeted government policies and strict regulatory frameworks have brought improvements in Europe and California, on the other hand, hasty and coercive legislation has also led to some unforeseen challenges that were not anticipated. Delhi government also effort to implement pollution control policies, but in recent years, there has been a lack of further measures, mostly because of the fast industrialization and weak implementation of environmental and financial restrictions. The purpose of this paper is to provide assistance for the development of future global air quality control measures through the utilization of these cases.
